LP GAS CYLINDER
QCC®-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
All models are designed to be used with an LP gas
cylinder equipped with the QCC
Coupling system.
The QCC
®
-1 system incorporates new safety features
required by the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) and the Canadian Standards Steering Committee.
• Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been
made.
• A thermal element will shut off the flow of gas between
240° and 300° F.
• When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the
flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.

SPECIFICATION:
1. All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance must be
constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods; and Commission, as applicable
2. The LP gas cylinder used for this appliance must not
have a capacity larger than 20 lb.(9 kg).
Approximately 18" (46cm) high
12" (31cm) diameter
3. All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance should be
inspected at every filling and re qualified by a licensed
service outlet at the expiry date (10 years), in
accordance with the DOT (USA) and CTC (Canada)
codes for LP Gas Cylinders.
4. All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance must be
provided with a shutoff valve terminating in a cylinder
valve outlet No. 510, specified in the Standard for
Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet
Connection (USA) ANSI/CGA-V-1-1977 (Canada)
The cylinder supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal.
The cylinder must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve.
The cylinder must be installed as per assembly
instructions.
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. A fire causing
death or serious injury may occur.
The cylinder valve must include a safety relief device
having direct communication with the vapour space of
the cylinder.
HANDLING:
1. Government regulations prohibit shipping full LP gas
cylinders. You must take your new cylinder to a LP
gas dealer for filling.
2. A filled LP gas cylinder is under very high pressure.
Always handle carefully and transport in the upright
position. Protect the valve from accidental damage.
3. Do not tip the LP gas cylinder while connecting it to the
regulator. Fasten the cylinder securely during
transport, use and storage.
4. If the cylinder is tipped after it is connected to the
regulator, shut off the gas, disconnect the regulator
and have it checked before using again.
STORAGE:
1. Store the LP gas cylinder outdoors in a well ventilated
place.
2. Do not store the LP gas cylinder in direct sunlight, near
a source of heat or combustion.
3. If you intend to store the grill indoors, disconnect and
remove the LP gas cylinder first. Disconnected
cylinders must have a dust cap installed and must not
be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed
area.
4. Keep out of the reach of children.
5. When the LP gas cylinder is connected to the gas grill,
the gas grill and LP gas cylinder must be stored
outside in a well ventilated place.
OPERATION:
1. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas cylinder
without the regulator provided, and NEVER TO AN
UNREGULATED LP GAS SUPPLY. The gas
regulator supplied with the appliance must be used.
2. Always leak test the LP gas cylinder to regulator
connection when connecting the LP gas cylinder to the
appliance. See "Leak Testing".
3. Do not operate appliance if the smell of LP gas is
present. Extinguish all flame and determine source of
LP gas before proceeding. Do not ignite the
appliance until the LP gas leak has been found and
sealed.
4. Always shut off LP gas cylinder valve when the
appliance is not in use.

OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER HOSE & REGULATOR
OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE
The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI
Z21.58/CAN/CGA-1.6, requires that appliances are to be
used with cylinders equipped with an Overfill Prevention
Device (OPD).
The OPD is designed to reduce the potential for the
overfilling of propane cylinders, thus reducing the possibility
of relief valve discharges of raw propane. The OPD
causes a slower purge/fill operation. Some consumers
have been advised by filling stations that these cylinders
are “defective”. This is not a defect. Some propane filling
stations may not be aware of this device and its effect on
the purge/fill operation.
New OPDs coming onto the market have technology that
allows for much greater BTU outputs which will decrease
the amount of time it takes to purge a cylinder.
Identification
To identify these cylinders, the OPD handwheel has been
standardized to the shape shown.
All models are equipped with a hose and regulator with a
®
QCC
-1 Quick Closing Coupling.
1. The QCC
®
coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting
Device which will limit the flow of gas should there be a
leak between the regulator and the appliance valve. This
device will activate if the cylinder valve is opened while the
appliance valves are open. Be sure the appliance
valves are off before the cylinder valve is opened to
prevent accidental activation.
2. The QCC
that will cause the back check module in the QCC
®
coupling incorporates a heat sensitive hand wheel
®
cylinder
valve to close when exposed to temperatures between 240°
and 300°F. Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect
the hand wheel. Remove hose/regulator assembly and
replace with a new one.
3.
The pressure regulator is set at 11 inches WC (water column)
and is for use with LP gas only. The hose and hose couplings
comply with CGA Standard CAN 1.83. No modifications or
substitutions should be attempted.
4.
Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the
hose to touch any hot surface, including the base casting
of the barbecue.
5.
Inspect the seal in the QCC® cylinder valve when replacing
the LP gas cylinder or once per year whichever is more
frequent. Replace the seal if there is any indication of cracks,
creases, or abrasion.
6.
Inspect the hose before each use of the barbecue. If the hose
is cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way, the
appliance must not be operated.
7. For repair or replacement of the hose/regulator assembly,
contact customer service at 1-800-265-2150 or
info@omcbbq.com
Connection
1. Be sure cylinder valve and appliance valves are "off".

2. Place full LP gas cylinder in LP tank well and secure base as
per assembly instructions.
3.
Center the nipple in the cylinder valve and hold in place.
Using other hand, turn the hand wheel clockwise until there
is a positive stop. Do not use tools. Hand tighten only.
When making the connection, hold the regulator in a
straight line with the cylinder valve, so as not to cross
thread the connection.
4. Leak test connections. See "Leak Testing".
5. Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating the Flow
Limiting Device when lighting, open cylinder valve slowly
with the appliance valves off. If the Flow Limiting Device is
accidentally activated, turn off cylinder valve and appliance
valves, wait 10 seconds to allow the device to reset, open
cylinder valve slowly, then open the appliance valve.
